TIMEFORM VIEW Got off the mark in commanding fashion at Musselburgh (3m) in Feburary but only seventh of 10 in valuable handicap chase at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) 21 days ago This is a big drop in class and he should bounce back. TFRHHHII BHA102

PLAY SMARTER

DROP HIM IN has steadily found his feet for Olly Murphy and is taken to defy an 8lb rise in the weights and follow up his recent breakthrough C&D success Doyens de Ante chased him home that day and is again fancied to fill second spot, with the handily-weighted Frau Georgia another to consider if on song.

2022: NO CORRESPONDING RACE

Probable S.P’s: 5-2 Borodale (IRE), 3-1 Land Genie (GB), 7-2 Man of My Dreams (IRE), 11-2 Ever Ready (GB), 25-1 No No Espresso (GB), 33-1 Little Peter (GB), 40-1 Guinessed (IRE), 100-1 Armadar (GB), 150-1 Hay Up Harry (GB)

The market should prove revealing but Olly Murphy’s Flemensfirth gelding BORODALE didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when an odds-on fourth on his debut at Market Rasen so gets the vote with a fair bit of improvement in the pipeline Newcomers Man of My Dreams (second choice) and Land Genie both appeal on paper and are in good hands so need considering too, especially if the market vibes are positive.
